Residents have the privacy and independence of their own apartment with its own front door, with a range of social opportunities and communal facilities on the doorstep. The village is designed to provide independent living, with support on hand from on-site staff, and care services available if and when residents need them. West End Village is owned and managed by Staffordshire Housing Association (SHA), a leading provider of older people s housing and services. The apartments All apartments at West End Village have two bedrooms. Shower rooms are en-suite to the master bedroom, and can also be entered from the spacious hallway. Each apartment has: A door entry system, so you know who your guests are before you let them into the private residential part of the building. Double glazing. Gas central heating. A smoke alarm, fitted and maintained by Staffordshire Housing Association (SHA). An emergency call system, so that help is only a call away at any time, day or night. Shower-room with non-slip floor.

3 Communal facilities West End Village has a range of communal facilities, including: General store Restaurant Lounge and conservatory Greenhouse Meeting rooms Gym and spa suite Hairdressing salon Licensed bar and coffee bar Community room Guest overnight room Assisted bathroom Outside, there are landscaped gardens which are maintained by SHA s gardening team. Many of the facilities are open to the local community. Because of this, the residential part of the building has its own door entry system to keep it secure. Social opportunities There are lots of social events at the village, as well as educational opportunities and the chance to volunteer to help run the village facilities. As a Staffordshire Housing Association resident, you will also have the opportunity to take part in a variety of free skills, hobbies and training courses, and to have your say on improving the services you receive. The support you can get There are staff on site 24 hours a day providing housing support and care services. The support and care that staff provide is tailored to how much or how little you require. Many residents are fit and active and choose West End Village for the extra security and peace of mind that a retirement village offers. Others need more help. Support we offer includes help making friends if you don t know anyone locally, help with correspondence, or support to regain your independence following illness. The care you can get depends on your circumstances and ranges from occasional help to 24 hour assistance. Care needs are assessed by Stoke -on-trent City Council s Adult Social Care Department. Charges vary according to the amount of care you receive and your own financial situation. We will always assess what support you need before we offer you accommodation. We will visit you at least once a year to make sure you are getting the support you need, and you can ask for more or less support at any time. What you pay for You pay your rent and a service charge and amenity fee. Your rent and service charge covers some staffing costs, as well as the 24- hour alarm service and the heating, lighting, furniture and equipment in the communal areas. Your amenity fee, which you pay to Staffordshire HA, covers the gas central heating and hot water in your own apartment. You pay your own council tax, electricity bill, phone bills and TV licence. You pay Stoke-on-Trent City Council for any personal care you receive.

4 Frequently asked questions I am working full time. Can I still live at West End Village? Yes, you are welcome to live at West End Village if you are working. Is there parking at the village? Car parking is limited. When we offer you an apartment we will tell you if we can offer you a reserved parking space. There will be a small charge for this space which we will tell you about at the time. How much is the rent? Please ask for a separate sheet on this. We don t include rents and associated charges in this brochure because they change each year, and they may be different for different apartments. How do I pay my rent? If you receive housing benefit, you can have that sent directly to us. Or you can pay by direct debit, cheque, at the Post Office, by using Paypoint (PP), by telephone or online. Will I get housing benefit? If you receive income support, pension credit (guaranteed), or you already claim housing benefit at your current home, you should still be entitled to housing benefit if you move to West End Village. You may also be able to claim a Supporting People grant to cover your support charge. We can help make sure you get all the benefits you are entitled to. Can I bring my pet with me? Yes, but please make sure your pet(s) do not disturb other residents. We would prefer you not to replace your pet when it dies. If you wish to do this, please discuss it with the scheme manager. Can I bring my gas cooker with me? There is no gas supply to individual flats, so you will have to bring an electric cooker. Is the village on a bus route? Yes, there is a bus stop outside the main gate and buses run to and from Longton. What activities are on offer at the village? Lots of entertainment and social events take place in the village centre, including bingo, quizzes, concerts, exercise classes, hobbies and other activities.

5 Do residents have to pay for activities? Many activities are free, but others charge a small fee to cover the costs of arranging them and paying for any entertainment or special equipment. What if I don t want to take part in activities? How much or how little you take part in communal life is entirely up to you. Your own apartment is completely private, and the communal facilities and activities are there if you want them. Can I help to run the activities and events? There are lots of opportunities to get involved and help run activities and events. We are always keen to hear residents ideas and suggestions too. Speak to the scheme manager if you have any suggestions or you would like to volunteer to help.
